Jon: Any one got a chance to look into the new alpha version of cache inspector released on last friday?
Jon: it includes Heading 1 and Heading 2 rules and will implement the LANDMARK X rule
Jon: planning to have Rule Implementation levels like completed, almost complete, partially implemented and not implemented
Jon: These implementation levels are associated with the rule categories
Jon: /member/wiki/WCAG_2.0_Principle_2_Operable_Rules#Requirement_2.4.1_Bypass_Blocks
Jon: LANDMARK X: Landmarks with an accessible name and containing at least one heading element, must/should use the aria-labelledby attribute to reference the highest level heading element within the landmark
Jon: Does IBM has any techniques for LANDMARK X rule?
Ann: no.
Ann: Prefer aria-labelledby over aria-label on a 'main' landmark if a visible label, such as a heading, is present.
Ann: Web checklist mapping: 2.4a
Ann: Where possible, instead of generating special strings to label main landmark regions with aria-label, provide users who rely on landmarks with labels that are consistent with what appears in the UI by using aria-labelledby to programmatically associate main landmarks with existing, visible, labeling elements.
Jon: can it be a recommondation?
Ann: It is a recommendation for IBM
Jon: using headings provides redundant way to navigate
Rich: If a document is embedded then it is an introduction
Jon: If we have an accessible name and the landmark then the top most Heading must have an accurate description of the region
Ann: If we have documentation then this rule doesn't apply
Jon: Yes
Jon: Mark, Does that work to you?
Mark: yes
Jon: The new Cache Inspector has LANDMARK1 & LANDMARK 2 are implemented in it
Jon: Next week we will connect to my desktop and walk through the rules implemented in the Cache Inspector
